Dongseon Kim, Executive Director of Hotel & Resort

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Kim Dong-seon, Executive Director of Hanwha Energy and the third son of Kim Seung-yeon, Chairman of Hanwha Group, recently transferred to Hanwha Hotels & Resorts.

On the 26th, Hanwha Group announced that Executive Director Kim moved to Hanwha Hotels & Resorts to engage in equestrian-related business. A Hanwha Group official explained, "Executive Director Kim decided to take a leave of absence from the company to participate in the Tokyo Olympic equestrian competition," adding, "Therefore, he transferred to Hotels & Resorts, which operates equestrian businesses."

Executive Director Kim was born in 1989 and graduated from Dartmouth College, an Ivy League university. He was active as an equestrian athlete before joining Hanwha Engineering & Construction in 2014. He resigned in 2017 following an unfortunate incident. He also went to Germany, where he opened and operated an Asian restaurant.

In April of last year, he joined Skylake Investment, a domestic private equity firm led by former Minister of Information and Communication Jin Dae-je, but resigned at the end of the same year. Shortly thereafter, he rejoined Hanwha Energy as the head of global strategy. At that time, Hanwha explained that Executive Director Kim would contribute to Hanwha Group's global renewable energy business, including solar power. Although he moved to the global strategy position at Hanwha Energy, he continued his equestrian activities during his leave of absence and even won an international equestrian competition held in the United States last March.
